The example you gave (busy signal) usually is part of the chatscript for that connection. These are the "ABORT" commands. Another one is "no dial tone". There are several config options to get these things echoed to your screen or to a file during the execution of the chatscript. You might want to consult "man chat" and review the various config options available.... maybe one of these will give you what you want. I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but maybe it will suffice to get you heading in the right direction.
